Carney, Poilievre square off in 1st question period of fall sitting | CBC

Members of Parliament are returning to Ottawa today from across the country for the next sitting in the House of Commons.

Parliament resumes for the first time since late June, with ongoing tension with the United States expected to dominate.

Prime Minister Mark Carney, fresh off an investment summit in Toronto and speech to the European Union, said his Liberal Party this sitting will see "some of the most consequential legislation … in decades."
